Giveaway: Enter to win a $100.00 store credit from The Best Vintage Clothing's wonderful Etsy shop

Earlier this month I celebrated my 32nd birthday and as such, wanted to make sure that lots of gifts were on the docket - not so much for myself, but as for all of you, my wonderful readers.

In mid-July we celebrated with a giveaway from fabulous Etsy artist Sabrina from Inky Notions, and today I'm genuinely excited to bring you a second giveaway before the month wraps up.

If you've been following my site for a while now, chances are you may know that The Best Vintage Clothing has been a long time blog sponsor here. We've held numerous giveaways and collaborative outfit posts on CV over the years, each of which focused on The Best Vintage Clothing's main website.

For this fun giveaway however, the spotlight is on The Best Vintage Clothing's Etsy shop, which - much like their standalone site - teams with a beautiful selection of curated vintage and antique pieces spanning the Victorian era to the late 20th century.

Helmed by Laura (aka, Miss Kitty), a lovely lady who has been in the vintage selling business for many years now, The Best Vintage Clothing is a yesteryear fashion lover's dream.

From frocks to jewelry, hats to handbags, the frequently updated selection of offerings that TBVC provides is sure to delight, inspire and tempt just about any fashionista (see for example, the selection in the image below, all of which are, at the time of writing, available in TBVC's Etsy store).





In addition to the giveaway taking place here today (more dets on that in a moment), The Best Vintage Clothing's Etsy shop is currently holding a fabulous 25% off storewide markdown sale this week (the sale is on until Monday August 1, 2016), so if you've been eyeing a treasure of two over there, now is definitely the time to pounce!

It's such an honour to count The Best Vintage Clothing as one of my blog's longest continuously running sponsors and to have the wonderful opportunity to partner up with them again here this month. We'll be doing so, for an outfit post, a bit later in the year and I can hardly wait for that collaboration either.

I want to sincerely thank TBVC on Etsy for this awesome $100.00 store credit giveaway prize, as well as to express my thanks to all of you who take part in this contest.

Best of luck to everyone who does!

CV + The Curious Professor Z team up for a fabulous Etsy shop giveaway and excusive coupon code on her blog

This week, on none other than Friday the 13th (which, as a bit of a side note, has actually, historically, been a day of good luck for me, not the other way around), I teamed up with my wonderful friend Franny from the blog The Curious Professor Z for a giveaway and limited time coupon code for my Etsy shop.

Swing on by Franny's seriously lovely (she says the nicest things about me - aww!) giveaway post to enter for your chance to win a $50.00 store credit for my Etsy shop and to take advantage of the exclusive 25% off coupon code that I've created just for this exciting post.

The giveaway is open to entrants worldwide and likewise, as I ship to every country, the coupon code can be used by customers anywhere to save a big on purchases made between now and March 31, 2015.

In unrelated news, it was with a heavy heart that I read this week of the recent passing of one of Flickr's greatest vintage image uploaders, Paul Malon.

James Vaughan, aka X-Ray Delta One, kindly took it upon himself to announce the passing at the end of January of his friend Paul, whose chock-a-block vintage photo and illustration filled stream had been a constant companion and source of many images used here in various Chronically Vintage for years now.

Mr. Malon’s tireless passion for sharing old school images was hugely appreciated by myself and many others and he will be greatly missed. At present his Flickr stream, with over 24,600 images is still online and is beyond well worth spending some time with (especially since it's hard to say how long it will continue to remain in place).

This is actually the third person in less than three weeks that I was either acquainted with or who was very close to someone that I knew and am friends with (but hadn't interacted with deceased personally myself) who has departed from this world and I must say, it's making for a rather somber March. Thankfully in the case of Paul's life though, we can continue to celebrate it and his massive love for yesteryear art, photos, and history - something that so many of us here can relate to - through his Flickr stream.



{Just one of the tens of thousands of images that avid Flickr user Paul Malon posted in his incredible, immensely history rich stream over the years. Thank you, Mr. Malon, for the inspiration and images alike. I always loved visiting and checking out what you'd so diligently shared with us there. Flickr won't be the same without you..}


In other recent happenings, the week solid of almost no sleep + around the clock work to get my business taxes in order (last week) really did a number on me. Instead of slowly bouncing back this week, I've almost gotten weaker and more unwell feeling with each passing day, so I'm going to be taking things mighty easy this weekend and hopefully in a few more days I'll have a bit of pep in my step, so to speak, once more.

Aside from those things though, all is well and I'm grateful that spring is a mere week away. Though the weather here is still (somewhat) playing for team winter, the first gentle signs of the new season are beginning to emerge and each one fills me with joy and excitement.

Also firing up my cylinders at the moment is the giveaway over at Franny's terrific blog. Again, my lovely dears, be sure to pop on over and enter for your chance to win a $50.00 store credit for my Etsy vintage shop and to pick up the off coupon code there that will save you 25% off on anything in my store until the end of March.

Wishing you each a beautiful, (hopefully) sun-kissed weekend!!!

It has been well over two years (I know, where on earth does the time go?!) since we last had a reader survey here on Chronically Vintage, and in the face of an ever changing, ever evolving online universe, I thought it was high time for another.
